Fs What Auditor Caldwell Dubbed
slae House of Representatives.


Special TO the Globe.
BISMARCK, Jan. 2S.-An old settler told
me to-day that during all his experience
among the politicians OF Dakota he had
never before seen so much trading and so
much bargaining going on among the differ
ent factions as is going on during the pres
ent session of the legislature: and to one
who is on the inside and is able to see the
deals that are going on, it seems that the
affirmation of the old settler cannot be
otherwise than true. for it is evident that
almost every member of the lower house
has come here with one or more bills in his
pocket that will require one or more combi-
nations to put them through. Territorial
Auditor Caldwell hit the nail pretty nearly
on the head the other day when he came
into the representative chamber with a slip
OF paper IN his hand, and. when asked what
it meant. he replied that it was sample of
the badge that he was going to order for the
members of the house to wear. On the
slip of paper were the words: job
berS' Association. Politics cut no figure
whatever in the legislature; it is simply
war between sections. There are, think,
but eleven open-faced Democrats in the
house. the rest being Republicans, and yet
when few nights ago, Martin GrigSby, a
political leader in the South, called meet
ing for the purpose of organizing the Re-
publicans there were only four responded
to the call and Mr.. Grigsby gave up in dis
gust. 1t will be impossible to organize per-
manently or to put up any permanent com :
binationS. but all along the line of work
until the last week of the session there will
be combinations made and agree ments en-
tered into between factions only to be shat
tered when their object is attained and when
the legislature finally adjourns there will
be the old feudal feeling between the North
and South, East and West and Central
Dakota that existed the day before the two
houses were organized. The schemes for
shifting the United States and territorial

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK. Jan. 2S.-Several Eastern
newspapers are represented here by CORE
spondents who are citizens of Bismarck,
and are naturally in sympathy with Bis
marck and North Dakota generally. AS a
result biased reports have been sent out and
ali injustice has been done w. G.. Eakins,
chief clerk of the house. and Sergeant-at-
Arms Roropaugh, who, it has been claimed,
were to have been removed from Office if the
recent scheme that threw the house into
deadlock had worked, on the grounds
of incompetency. This assertion has en-
ragged the majority of Northern members of
the house, who deny that there was any
Intention on their part to remove the
present officials. Chief Clerk Eakns is
not deserving of the charge of incUmpe-
tency. He came to the Office with an eX-
perience that amply fitted him for it, and
he has performed his duties with general
satisfaction. so tar as L can learn. to the
members of the house. Two years ago he
was assistant to Chief Clerk Howard in the
council, and for three weeks of the session
disposed Of the duties of both chief and
assistant in consequence of Mr.. Howard
not being able to reach here, owing to a
snow blockade of southern roads. In the
performance OF the duties OF his ONCE ne is
ably seconded by Maj. Hamilton, of Grand
Forks, who was assistant to Clerk Read
two years ago. and whose legal training
and experience in this capacity rem
der him valuable assistant to
the chief. In regard to Sergeant-at-
Arms Rorapaugh, TO bring the charge of in
competency against a man in his position is
highly absurd, as about the only qualifica-
ton demanded of a candidate
for that office is that he possess
sufficient strength to open and shut a door
and voice loud enough to inform the
speaker that a message has been sent down
from the council. Mr.. Rorapaugh is an
old-time settler of Deadwood, and for
long time was marshal of that city, and for
two terms has worn the badge of deputy
sheriff, which position he holds now. He
has filled the office of sergeant alarms sat-
isfactorily to all parties, both north and
south of the 10th parallel of latitude, and it
is stated on good authority that in the
scheme of few days ago there was no in
tention of removing him, and any impress
sion given by newspaper correspondents to
the contrary seems TO be erroneous.

FOR A SOLDIERS, HOME.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-''We are not
going to get any soldiers home this winter
in Dakota" said Judge Clifford to-day. 81
think it a shame that we shall not, but do
not see how it is to be helped. We have
more soldiers in Dakota than any other
state or territory in the Northwest can
claim. If you consult the records Of all the
various land offices and collect the statistics
of soldiers entries you will very soon dis
cover that out of our 600, 900 people in Da-
kota very large proportion are soldiers
and the families OF soldiers, widows and
children. We ought by all sense of justice
to have soldiers home within the terri
tory at some central point. where our vet
Grams who were wounded and disabled by
the war and greatly broken down in their
old age under the hardships of pioneer
life III the far Northern climate, might turn

old age. After all the patience and disap-
pointm ent that the people of Dakota must
have at the hands of congress- it seems to me
that there might be some compensation in
the way of fair appropriations for the bene-
fit of her people as long as they must be in
the position of wards of the government -

A BIT OF HISTORY,
which Mrs. Custer Overl0oEzs in Her
Eook. ssEscots and SaddIe.,'


Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Jan. 2S.-One finds many
matters here to write of which are not OF a
political nature and are yet interesting to
the great majority of readers. In CONVEX
sation with Arthur Linn, an old resident of
this country, few days ago. drew out a
little incident in the early history of the
Missouri valley that has not been published.
1t was in connection with Gen. Clusters
movements in this country, and although
the storm that ragged at this time is men,
toned in Mrs. Clusters interesting book,
Boots and Saddle" the prominent details
are overlooked, possibly because Mrs. Gus
ter herself is the central figure. 1t was in
the fall of rs. Custer with his men had
camped on the river bottom just below
Yankton, where they were to wait for sup
plies for their trip westward for the pur-
pose of protecting the engineers, who were
engaged i'll laying out the line of the North
ern Pacific road. The tents had been
pitched but day. when terrible blizzard
came up, and one of the officers. who had
arrived that evening in the city. came to
Mr.. Linn and asked him to guide him to the
camp. The snow fell in binding
sheet. but Mr. Linn aud the officer
built down on to the bottom, and at last
succeeded in reaching the camp. Gen. Gus
ter and his wife were quartered in crazy
old building that had formerly been occu-
pied as pest house OF smallpox hospital,
and when Mr.. Linn and the officer arrived
there they found Gen. Custer living in the
loft sick. and in the room below lay half
dozen soldiers unable to sit up, and Mrs.
Custer was nursing them all from her hus-
band down. With few lath that had
been left in the house fire was kept burn
ing in the miserable stove that filled one
corner of the room, and the temperature
was kept at comfortable degree. Under
the guidance of Mr.. Linn the men who

Advantage in Dakota.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-There ought to
be some chance this session to secure an
appropriation for erecting United States
buildings in Dakota. The government
spends more money in rent for buildings in
which to hold United States courts i'll the
territory OF Dakota than in any other state
or territory, with the exception of New
\ ork and Texas. Yankton, Deadwood and
Fargo court rooms each cost 81, 900. The
court room at Bismarck costs $500. These,
together with other expenses incurred by
the necessity of renting all of the federal
offices in Dakota, make up handsome per-
centage on the appropriation that ought to
be made to put up necessary buildings. AS
time goes on in all probability these ex-
penscs will increase, and if buildings were
begun now it might all be saved.
For instance, if this year two pub
lie buildings were given to Da-
kota-sa Yanllton and Bismarck
with an appropriation OF $50, 900 each, that
united, represent simply the principal at 4
per cent. of what is now paid out in rent for
court buildings in the territory. The slow
and niggardly policy of congress in regard
to public buildings ought to be stopped.
There is large income from all the terri
torres and an immense amount Of business
isrequired to be done by the various courts.
and they should at least be provided with
adequate quarters. The bill which Mr..
Peters, of Kansas. has introduced, pro-
yiding that, in every town where the annual
gross revenues to the government exceeds
$4,000, a public building shall be erected
to cost not exceeding $50, 900, has received
general favor among congressman. and
while it may not amount to anything this
session, it will be taken hold of in the
Fiftieth congress with some prospect of fair
treatment

HURON, Oak, Jan. 2S.-On the return
of Judge Church from Bismarck here, after
the converting of the legislature, he was the
recipient OfnumerouS calls from distinguish
ed members of the Democratic party. Just
what the nature of these visits was is a
matter OF conjecture but it is safe to pre-
sumo some of them were not
merely formal OF of congratula-
tory character. Among the number,
and whose presence ELECTED the
greatest curiosity, was Hon. John r. Will
son, of Deadwood; Hon. III. III. Day, of
Springfield; Hon. j. w. Hardin. of Jerauld
county; Hon. NJ. ii. Rowley. of Mitchell;
Maj. Barrett. OF Aberdeen; Hon. Mat Ger
ing, of Elk Point; Hon. j. w. Engle, of
Aberdeen; Judge Pratt, of Grand Forks,
and Capt. George S. Nave. of Woon-
competent to judge. and who is sup
posed to be good authority as to what the
above named gentlemen desire at the hands
of Gov. Church. your correspondent learns
ers that the new executive will certainly
name Mr.. Day as auditor and Mr. Wilson
as treasurer; i'll fact it is generally conceded
that Judge Church has already decided on
these two gentlemen for the position named
and their appointment would be
eminently satisfactory and a just recogni-
ton of their past services and donation to
the Democracy OF Dakota. There are
numerous gentlemen mentioned in connec-
ton with
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Among the more prominent, however.
and who are quite likely to receive favora-
BILE attention are Maj. Barrett, of Aber-
deem, and Hon. j. w. Hardin of Jerauld
county. For attorney general Mr.. Engle, of
Aberdeen, would delight to be his own sue
cessor, while Mr.. ROwley, of Mitchell; Mr.
Gering, of Elk Point; Mr.. Hundley, of
Huron, and Nh. Pratt, of Grand Forks, are
all DESTROYS of the appointment. Capt.
Nave. of Woonsocket, would not refuse the
chair of Lauren Dunlap as commissioner of
immigration should it be offered him.
1t is said that Mr.. Church regards
the railroad commission and the
commissioner of immigration as of the
greatest importance, and will give both
offices careful consideration, and be i'll no
immediate haste to fill them with new anu
inexperienced men. He is very cordial
with Commissioner Dunlap and has very
high personal regard tor him, and ap-
preciates the fact that he is peculiarly
fitted for the position he has so satisfac-
terily filled, and it will not be sur
prising if the appointment of successor to
Mr.. Dunlap should be delayed for some
time. The question OF politics is not likely
to cut very great figure so far as the office
of commissioner Of immigration is con-
cened. Experience, competency and a
thorough knowledge of the work will out
weigh political preferment in this office, at
least.
